Preparation
Triphenylmethyl chloride is commercially available. It may be prepared by the reaction of triphenylmethanol with acetyl chloride, or by the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene with carbon tetrachloride to give the trityl chloride-aluminium chloride adduct, which is then hydrolyzed.[3]
Reactions
Triphenylmethylsodium can be prepared from trityl chloride dissolved in an aprotic solvent and sodium:[4]
- (C6H5)3CCl + 2 Na → (C6H5)3CNa + NaCl
Reaction with silver hexafluorophosphate gives triphenylmethyl hexafluorophosphate.
